Ex-Google CEO warns that 'perfect' AI girlfriends could spell trouble for young men
  • Wish he would fuck off along with the rest of the CEO class .

  • Autumn sale on now! 🦌🍁🍂
  • I want to get RDR 2 , Hogwarts , stray and no mans sky but I still have lots to get through so I can wait. Maybe I'll pick up something in the winter sale.

  • Nintendo targets Reddit pirates in piracy crackdown
  • Emulators should provide torrents for releases.

  • Was this BS always in the EULA ?

    Specifically the emulation part. I wonder could this be used to take down a future emulator emulating the game. I know Nintendo claimed DMCA for the yuzu stuff. Not sure about EULA if there would be grounds to do so. Either way I'm sure we can expect more of this crap as time goes on.

    like the rest of you I never read and ignore them , but on a whim I skimmed this one and this stood out.

    What do you think of AdNauseam and their 'poisoning-the-well' approach?
  • Not off hand but here is a product tailored to advertisers that claims to be able to do it https://www.anura.io/product

    It stands to reason that this company must be successful in doing it if they are able to stay in business. That means ad companies are paying for it so they see value in it. So they are successful in eliminating or reducing their false positives.

    This was a quick search as I'm on mobile and in a meeting at the minute but you can be sure the big guys have in house teams for this eg Google, Meta etc

  • What do you think of AdNauseam and their 'poisoning-the-well' approach?
  • I think its a waste of time as they still get your data. They have algorithms designed to identify false positives in their click through rates and they have access to info from databrokers and things like facebook. Once they correlate that they know who the person is and the ip addresses and fingerprints of the hardware.

    Instead I would recommend tails or use a combination of blockers and default with JavaScript and cookies disabled , only allowing on trusted sites.

  • Masochism
  • Easy mode ftw. I've only got so much free time. I wanna chill when I'm gaming.

  • What apps/programs do y'all recommend?
  • Nice site. Congratulations on your wedding . I wish you and your family all the best ❤️🙏

  • Are there good uses for the blockchain?
  • This looks interesting https://github.com/ortegaalfredo/blockchainbay

    Disclaimer I have not tried it , just discovered it now

  • How's the battery life after you've had one for a while?
  • 2022 LCD Q2 or Q3 can't remember which but still running good. I can get 3.5 hrs in a light game like vampire survivors and 1.5 -2 on a heavy game depending on the options. I dont play it docked and only plug it in to charge of it. I also dont charge it over night. I play it frequently , almost daily.

  • What apps/programs do y'all recommend?
  • Newpipe, KDEconnect, Vlc, KeepassXC, Syncthing, convert (CLI program for converting files eg jpg to PNG ), Yakuake (a dropdown terminal)

  • 'A harbinger of what's to come:' NASA satellites show massive drop in global freshwater levels
  • Climate change terrifies me to be honest. We have seen how under prepared we were as species for covid, this will be so much worse. While we could be doing something about it we still have people who dont believe it or are doubling down on fossil fuels and taking private jets.

    😪

  • International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas officials
  • He'll still go back and forth to the US without issue I'd imagine.

  • International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas officials
  • I doubt any country will have the stones to arrest him in the face of US pressure.

  • Google must sell Chrome to end search monopoly, justice department argues in court filing

    FYI: Xenia-Canary is now running on steam deck via emudeck

    I was only able to play skate 3 so far with better performance than rpcs3. I didn't change any settings in the conf file. It is using the vulkan renderer.

    I limit the fps to 30, TPD to 8 and GPU to 1200.

    I'm trying a few games here and there to see but It can only improve over time.

    PassAndroid

    I came across this as I needed to install some proprietary app to view a .pkpass file and I discovered this FOSS app instead that does the job and doesnt share the data with any third parties.

    Anyway I'm just spreading the word.

    The text below is copied from fdroid.

    "Displays Passbook (*.pkpass) files & shows the Barcode (QR, PDF417 and AZTEC format). It can be used also when offline.

    This app is a viewer for passes - a pass could be a e.g. boarding-pass for your next flight, a coupon for a nice hot beverage on the destination, a movie ticket, a membership card - there are a lot of possibilities. Basically it is a replacement for a piece of paper or plastic you would normally have to carry with you - so lets save some trees and reduce waste!

    How does it work?

    There are so called espass or pkpass files - you can open them with this app - e.g. when you receive them via email or get an Download-option. The most important content is the BarCode ( QR , AZTEC & PDF417which authorizes you most of the time - but it also has other interesting content like a description - often a time ( that you now can add to your calendar ) - often also locations ( to give you directions ) - just try It out! The app is offline usable once you downloaded the pass!"

    www.medialens.org Gaza – A Brutal Demonstration Of ‘Western Values’

    ‘I find Westerners in general, and Europeans in particular, extremely indoctrinated and obsessed with perceptions of their own uniqueness. Many see themselves as chosen people, after going through a one-sided education and after relying on their media outlets, without studying alternative sources.’

    why are grunts aligned with the brutes in H3 after the events in H2

    In halo 2 the grunts side with the elites while the jackels side with the brutes and the prophets.

    Why then in halo 3 are the grunts fighting alongside the brutes and jackels ?

    I've been jumping between games recently and noticed it and I'm wondering was it ever addressed anywhere ?

    Irish MEPs call on EU Council to demand a ceasefire in Gaza

    Irish MEPs across the political spectrum release joint statement calling for ceasefire in Gaza

    Irish MEPs from across a broad political spectrum this morning, Thursday 26 October, released a joint statement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The statement echoes the recent resolution passed by Dáil Éireann, the position adopted by the Irish government, and the recent statements of the United Nations Secretary General, and urges the Council of the European Union to call for an immediate ceasefire, as well as urgent efforts to meet the humanitarian needs of people in Gaza, ahead of the Council meeting today.

    The statement was initiated and drafted by Independents 4 Change MEPs Mick Wallace (LEFT) and Clare Daly (LEFT), and is co-signed by MEPs from every political group with Irish representatives, namely: Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan (LEFT) Colm Markey (EPP), Chris MacManus (LEFT), Grace O’Sullivan (Greens/EFA), Ciarán Cuffe (Greens/EFA)and Billy Kelleher (Renew).

    In a press release, Mr Wallace said:

    We feel it is extremely important that as Irish MEPs we stand together and amplify calls for a ceasefire ahead of the European Council meeting today. Ireland is a neutral country with a proud history of peacekeeping and therefore we feel Ireland’s representatives in the European Parliament speak from a unique position. We must do everything we can to stop the slaughter, the death toll is well over 5,000 now. It is important to keep the pressure on for a constructive intervention from the EU in line with international law.”

    Ms Daly also said:

    "The Palestinian people need our urgent support and solidarity, which is why we have asked all the Irish MEPs to join us in calling for a ceasefire. Europe's leaders will meet today and tomorrow to discuss the conflict. The terms of their statement matter. There is talk of them calling only for a “humanitarian pause.” That is not the same thing as a ceasefire - it amounts to a temporary stop to the killing, after which it will continue. It is essential that we remind them that it is imperative that the conclusions of that meeting include a call for a ceasefire, and for urgent humanitarian assistance to Gaza.”

    The text of the statement is as follows:

    "With regard to the current situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Irish Members of the European Parliament, from across a broad spectrum of political groups, wish to echo the recent resolution passed by the Dáil; the position adopted by the Irish government; and the statements of the United Nations Secretary General, and therefore urge the Council of the European Union to call for an immediate ceasefire, as well as urgent efforts to meet the humanitarian needs of people in Gaza. We stress the universal applicability of international humanitarian law, its binding nature on all parties in all conflicts and remind the Council that indiscriminate warfare resulting in the killing of civilians cannot be justified - in any circumstances. Given the intensity of hostilities, and the enormous loss of life that has already occurred, we consider that calling for anything less than an immediate ceasefire would depart from the European Union’s responsibility to uphold international law, to protect human life, and to secure peace.

    Signed: Clare Daly Mick Wallace Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan Colm Markey Chris MacManus Grace O’Sullivan Billy Kelleher Ciarán Cuffe"

    Shocking insight into Israel's Apartheid | Roadmap to Apartheid

    With a comparison between apartheid South Africa and the Israel/Palestine conflict, this doc traces the future of one conflict from the past of another. Weaving the history of apartheid into the complex issues facing Israelis and Palestinians, it highlights the frighteningly similar laws and tools used by Israel and apartheid-era South Africa. It's a dark picture of the present but offers hope based on the peace that South Africa eventually found.
